Target is conducting a Facebook campaign:

... giving K-12 schools up to $10,000 each in Target GiftCards® for books or any supplies they need. You can help by voting for a school each week. Rally your friends because for every 25 votes a school receives, Target will send a $25 gift card. Vote now....

According to Target:

You can help us give up to $2.5 million in support to schools through Give With Target®.

Simply choose a K-12 school in our list of eligible schools and vote for it weekly through September 8 or when $2.5 million in Target GiftCards® have been awarded, whichever occurs first. A school will receive a $25 Target GiftCard for every 25 votes received during the Promotion Period; up to a maximum of $10,000 in gift cards. For example, schools that receive less than 25 votes will not receive any gift cards, while schools that receive 25-49 votes receive a $25 Target GiftCard and schools that receive 50-74 votes receive $50 in gift cards. If the school you chose is not on our list, please choose another school.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Voting ends on 9/8/12 at 11:59:59 p.m. CT or when $2.5 million in Target GiftCards have been awarded, whichever occurs first. Maximum of $10,000 in gift cards will be awarded per school. Voting is limited to legal residents of the 50 US/DC, 13 years of age and older. Limit one vote per person per week. Subject to full Terms and Conditions.
